If you are asking fro Job, then you can show that you have practical experience.

However, in case where for any course where there eligibility requirement need experience or for any job where experience requirement is the eligibility and you require some certification for that then articleship will be counted as training period only and not as experience.

Nope. If u see the announcements for admissions to higher education; they say "internship wont be counted as exp." You have to be on the payrolls. So articleship wont be counted as work exp. However u can show that u have done this done that during my articleship.

Hi Sarvesh,

Articleship and Would'nt be considered as an Experience, To say it rightly, it actually Varies from Organisation to Organisation, Some Consider the Three years of Articleship as One year of Experience, Some do not consider the articleship at all and some Organisations do consider. Whatever is the case, the experience which you gain during the Articles period makes you to outstand from the other members of the team, Because usually these days we find people with different qualifications working together within a process. This is what I observed from my experience. Please do continue and Concentrate on the articleship as well. It would be very helpful in future.

And regarding the job, The CA tag itself will get you a good Job, and Knowledge gained during the articles period adds to it.

I think That Articleship period is not counted as part of your exprience...since u r not related directly wid any industrial environment..

You are persuing CA
Qualify for Articleship
Receive Service Certificate for completion of training.
You pass CA Finals
Apply for Job or Practice

For CA's there is no midway to gain more practical experience in services rendered unless within the yardstick of ICAI. Even the recruiters understand so there is no need for experience recognition.

Most important is where you were undergoing articleship.

What was the scope of training

Exposure of each service and,

Additional qualifications

These are crucial for you and important for recruiters.

CA's pass out from one uniform Institute whereas MBA's need experience on their Bio. As MBA students are valued by prestigious IIM's following the least best institutes.
